Just try rmmod modname; it won't remove modules in use. It's OK to
manually load modules later, but why would you want to?

Looking at /etc/init.d/module-init-tools:
KVER=$(uname -r)
KMAJ=${KVER%${KVER#*.*[^.]}}
KMAJ=${KMAJ%.}
if [ -e /etc/modules-$KVER ]; then
MODULES_FILE=/etc/modules-$KVER
elif [ -e /etc/modules-$KMAJ ]; then
MODULES_FILE=/etc/modules-$KMAJ
else
MODULES_FILE=/etc/modules
fi
